Anyone else been having non-stop ballache with the BT Sport app since 7pm?
Was fine earlier throughout the day, lovely picture watching the Audi Cup highlights, I was rubbing my hands with glee at the prospect of a trouble-free setup in time for Steve's testimonial... but no, we can't be having things so simple can we? Since 'prime-time', the live stream started going choppy as all fuck, constantly freezing, repeating, skipping, breaking up and distorting. Even if I was happy to perservere with that, it would continually just close with the error message:
"Unable to playback video: VC011".
Did what they suggest; logout, close down then try again from scratch, but the same every time (about 6 times in my case).
So I try to check out how things are running live on the online player instead. Unfortunately, the page is utterly gash on an Adroid tablet (they probably expect you to use the app at all times, without ever encountering any problems with it that might lead you to try other avenues), and simply will not let you login there despite already being logged out of everything BT-wise. So I think, "faire douze", make sure I'm defo logged out of everything on the BT Sport website, and try the app again. Only this time the error message I get, and can't stop getting it seems no matter what I do, is:
"You have reached your maximum number of concurrent streams: VC010"
...now not even allowing me to get on any live stream to begin with. I've only been using one single device (Galaxy Tab 2) to try to watch it on, and there's no one else in the household having anything to do with any of it, so I don't know what the fuck it's on about. Absolutely zero wrong with my fibre optic broadband connection either, still running like a dream on iPlayer, youtube, etc. Teething problems, yeah okay, fine, but if it's still acting the twat come Saturday 3pm, I'll sthcream & sthcream until I'm sthick.
Right, I'm fucking this maddening shite off tonight and going to do something enjoyable with my time rather than keep trying to fix this toss. I'll be onto BT tomorrow if it's still like this - just posting all this here in case some wizard happens upon the thread with a cure. As great as modern technology can be, it can also suck a whole bunch of bad dicks a lot of the time.
